The Greater Burrows Partnership for Health Advisory Board voted unanimously on Jan. 9 to approve a ClearPath municipal services contract for hoarding prevention and mitigation and to accept and release several prior meeting minutes, the board chair said.

Isabella, the SSA fiscal lead, presented the coalition’s spending spreadsheet and identified line items available for use before funds expire. The board debated two spending proposals: a ClearPath contract for prevention, mitigation and municipal education and a nursing‑case‑management software package to track senior‑center and clinic services.

After discussion about likely hours and consent requirements for hoarding interventions, a motion to contract with ClearPath for a minimal package (four hours per week to start) passed by roll call: Southborough (Chelsea), Boylston (Anne Marie) and Northborough (Isabella) voted aye. Isabella said the ClearPath contract will be set up and noted the contract will draw $8,000 from available PHE/SSA funds.

The board also discussed a nursing‑software product that would provide client tracking, case management and report generation. Participants said Northborough’s senior center already uses a similar product; the software vendor quoted an enterprise arrangement and a rough price of about $6,000 was discussed pending IT sign‑off and funding-source approval.

Other business included two brief operational items: the shared‑services team is rolling out a OneDrive for board documents, a short training‑completion survey and a shared service request form; DPH’s local public‑health internship applications were announced with a Feb. 7 deadline; and the board discussed, but did not approve, pooled spending for substance‑use prevention. Members also proposed translating existing maternal‑health and food‑resource guides and reapplying for AED funding for fields and gyms.

The board approved and released meeting minutes from March 13, 2024; April 4, 2024; June 26, 2024; and Nov. 7, 2024, by unanimous vote. The advisory board set its next full meeting for March 13, with a possible interim February session to accommodate FPHS work and further budget decisions.
